What it does

Running a members-only area usually means stitching together a profile plugin, a payment tool and a separate way to lock content. This add-on ties membership features directly into UsersWP user profiles and directories, so the people who register on your site can be sorted into levels with different access. You create as many tiers as your community needs, then restrict posts, pages or custom content so only members at specific levels can view them.

Subscriptions are managed inside the same workflow, with tools for renewals, cancellations and upgrades. A grace period setting keeps memberships active while a renewal payment is still processing, which helps with slower methods such as SEPA Debit. Members can sign up, update their profile and change subscription details themselves, and custom email alerts keep them informed about changes and expirations. Developers get hooks and filters for deeper customization.

Questions about UsersWP - Membership

Does this work with my existing UsersWP setup?

Yes, it is built as part of the UsersWP ecosystem. Membership functionality ties directly into UsersWP user profiles and directories, so members keep the same profiles while gaining access levels and subscription details.

What kind of content can I restrict?

You can restrict posts, pages and custom content by membership level. Access controls can also protect assets such as forums or other files based on a member's status, and restrictions apply to listings loaded through AJAX search as well.

What happens if a renewal payment takes a few days to clear?

There is a grace period setting that keeps a membership active while the renewal is still processing. This is designed for slower payment methods such as SEPA Debit, so members do not lose access during the wait.

Can members manage their own subscriptions?

Yes. Members can update their profile and subscription details themselves, and the plugin supports upgrades and cancellations. Custom email alerts let them know about subscription changes and upcoming expirations.
